 An Insightful Account April 15, 2009
R. Lakshmanan (Chesterfield, Missouri USA)
10 out of 12 found this review helpful
An insightful account of Jamie Dimon's corporate life and management style. Elegantly presented in simple English. Brings out the man's true motivations through a well constructed account of his views, words, and actions, and cutting out the "noise" and self-indulging digressions seen in other books. Fully recommended to all management professionals, students, and business leaders. There's a lot to learn from Jamie's experiences.
Thoughtful insights, excellent read April 1, 2009

The House of Dimon highlights what makes Dimon different from other Wall Street executives, especially how he manages risk and empowers his team. I actually got a lot of insight from the book. There were many original interviews in the book with people who know Dimon back from his days at Commercial Credit and Bank One, and with Dimon himself talking about the credit crisis. I guess if you're looking for dirt, this isn't the book for you. But if you're looking at how Dimon managed to avoid getting caught up in the credit crisis - where so many of his fellow CEOs failed - the book provides a lot of thoughtful insights into his leadership.

If you have recently learned who Jamie Dimon is and are looking for a simple introduction to the man and his history, this is the book for you. If you are an avid follower of Dimon's career and are looking for a behind-the-scenes deep-dive, you will be left wanting. This book is a collection of stories and one-liners from previously reported interviews, speeches, press statements & conference calls, and Bank One/JPMorgan annual reports. Patricia Crisafulli does a good job gathering and organizing the key facts, but very little new information is included. She does not dive any deeper into major events of Dimon's career (i.e. the now-infamous fight between Steve Black, Dimon and Deryck Maughan; the reasons behind increasing the Bear Stearns price from $2 to $10/share.) There's an entire chapter "Navigating Financial Storms" that barely mentions Dimon! If you want a deeper history of Dimon prior to Bank One, Monica Langley's "Tearing Down The Walls" or Sandy Weill's autobiography "The Real Deal" provide much more detail (even if Weill's book is a bit one-sided). For the deep history of Dimon post-Citigroup, you are left anxiously waiting for a more-detailed book or Dimon's autobiography.
Perfect Timing for This Book March 31, 2009

With what's been happening on Wall Street and in the banking industry, this book could not have come out at a better time. The book describes true leadership by a CEO who doesn't go astray chasing risky returns. If you are looking for Wall Street gossip, this is not your book. But if you want to know how one of the leading CEOs of our time thinks and acts, the House of Dimon is for you.
 Awful!! Don't buy this book. March 30, 2009

Awful. Just awful. I am not sure what those other reviewers are smoking, but book is long on cliche and short on insight. Nothing more than a clip job.
